This was my first time trying Korean BBQ and I couldn't have asked for a better place to test things out. This place is tucked away in a strip of businesses in Mesa. The parking lot had plenty of space so we were off to a great start. We walked in on a Thursday at 6:30om with a party of two and were seated immediately (they even had plenty more room available. Upon being seating, we had a staff member kindly walk us through how to choose which meat combo we wanted and how we would be cooking our meat.
Jin BBQ has a great range of combos and a la carte options for main meats and sides. We ordered the Jin Combo 1 which included premium thinly sliced brisket , premium boneless short rib, grilled bulgogi, Pork Jowl, and the choice of a Kimchi stew or beef brisket soy bean paste stew. In addition, this combo included the following small sides: green onion salad, rice, macaroni salad, pickles, ginger salad, kimchi, corn cheese salad, and steamed eggs. The sides are bottomless and Jin BBQ has a button at their tables for guests to push, in case you want a refill on any of your sides. We LOVED the beef bulgogi and the boneless shirt rib the most as the main dish and loved the steamed egg and green onion salads as the sides. This was SO much food, you really get your moneys worth here and portioning is generous.
The staff would swing by our table every 30 minutes or so we swap out our grill for a clean one which really improved the quality of our cooking over time. The only reason I would knock this down from 5 starts to 4.5 stars is that we waited for 30 minutes to get our check and wish staff would have been more attentive to that, but even with this minor inconvenience, we had an incredible time and we will definitely be coming back.
